Hello all. It's me, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Patchogue Daily — here to impart all the most important things happening in town.

First, today's weather:

Breezy; an afternoon shower. High: 66, low: 60.

Here are the top 5 stories today in Patchogue:

2. This month is special for those in need of mental health support. The Village of Patchogue has been promoting Mental Health Awareness throughout our community, and more events are set to help the cause.
